speaker tone control?
in [Windows XP]
|
From: Spamlet on 24 Jul 2010 18:47 XP Home SP3 I don't actually use the sound very much when I'm at the computer, but listening to some online clips today I find them rather high pitched. The XP speaker controls don't seem to include a tone adjustment. Is there an add-on or alternative speaker control for tone or is this just a fixed function of this old Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop? S

OR you could add an external amp (with tone controls) and speakers.

Or just some better powered speakers (which have a built in amp and volume and tone controls)

So software or (probably external) hardware solutions seem to be the way to go.

Just wanted to know if there was a simple addition to the ordinary speaker controls for when I have to use it. S
